The Americans veteran Annet Mahendru has been added to the cast as Huck. No other details about her character was revealed.

Aliyah Royale, who recently starred on CBS' one-and-done, The Red Line has also landed a lead role as Iris.

They join the previously announced cast which includes Alexa Mansour as Hope, a rebel whose sense of humor is masked by her inner sadness, Nicolas Cantu as Elton, a karate kid who is small for his age, and Hal Cumpston as Silas, a loner who relishes in the fact that he scares those around him.

Sounds like an interesting bunch, right?

Every indication is that this new series will more or less be a teen drama, but that could add an exciting layer to the franchise, assuming people are not tired of The Walking Dead-related projects.

The series is slated to get into production in Richmond, Virginia next week.

Fear the Walking Dead has managed to survive for six seasons, despite several complaints about the quality of the show.
